Guessing here but maybe you don't want to use *Perl's* escape, but instead use your *shell's* escape.
Whatchu running from? -Tom Kinzer -----Original Message----- From: Dan Muey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2003 3:05 PM To: beginners Subject: -e with single quotes Hello group. I'm tryign to do a perl -e '' command and am wondering if it is possible to do single quotes inside the single quotes. IE perl -e 'print "joe's mama";' Obvo=iously won't work perl -e 'print "joe\'s mama";' And any other versions of \\' all fail. Is there a way to use a single quote inside a single quoted -e command? Using a different character would just cause the same problem but with different characters right?
